Questions about Plasma Activities

[Virtual Sky Solutions]

Would it make sense to add another heading under the "Desktop" dialog?
Right now I see Deskopt Effects, Mulitiple Desktops, Screen Saver, and

If not, what about adding a new section under the "Look & Feel" heading?

Just two thoughts off of the top of my head.
